About LINEAR CONNECTOR
"Linear connector" refers to several different types of components depending on the industry, primarily categorized into mechanical structural components, linear motion hardware, and electrical/lighting connectors.
1. Mechanical/Structural Linear Connectors (Aluminum Profiles)
These are used to join two profiles (such as aluminum T-slot extrusions) end-to-end in a straight line.
Description: Typically a rigid, flat bar or plate, often made of zinc-plated or carbon steel for high strength.
Function: Slides into the T-slots of two profiles to create a continuous, straight structural member.
Applications: Used in building CNC routers, 3D printers, machine guards, and workstations.
Installation: Involves sliding the connector into the profile grooves and securing it with set screws.
2. Linear Actuator Connectors (Motion Components)
These connect linear actuators (devices that create motion in a straight line) to other mechanical components.
Description: Two-part, clamp-style connectors, often made of aluminum or stainless steel.
Function: They allow for the adjustment of guide bores and provide a secure, sometimes adjustable connection to a drive key.
Types: Include base plate connectors (GN 165.1), two-way connectors (GN 132.25), and flanged connectors (GN 146.1).
Features: Often include sleeve bearings or seals for durability and smooth operation.
3. Lighting/Electrical Linear Connectors
These are used in track lighting or LED profile systems to connect fixtures in a straight line.
Description: Often plastic or metal housing with conductive, metal pins inside to carry electrical current between lighting units.
Function: Joins two lighting tracks or profiles to create long, continuous lines of light.
Applications: Common in 3-phase track systems, DALI-controlled LED systems, and architectural lighting.
4. Other Uses
Glass Connectors: L-shaped stainless steel connectors used to join glass panels at 180 for frameless shower doors or partitions.
Linear Cable Adapter (LCA): A device used to translate rotation into linear movement for measurement.
